1917134554Petrograd: Tsentr. Tipograf 1917. A new Russia should be built by women and men together A remarkable survival of a flyer printed by the All-Russian League of Equal Rights for Women for their political campaign for the election to the Constituent Assembly in November 1917. The League participated in elections as its own party under the number 7. In English the flyer text reads: ''Female Citizens and male citizens! The League of Equality for Women wishing that the right of women to participate in the Constituent Assembly was not only on paper expose its candidates to the Constituent Assembly. Vote for the list number 7. If you want our children not to grow up without a home and the old people to not die on the street - send women to the Constituent Assembly. In America Australia and other countries where women take part in the drafting of laws the number of schools is multiplied prisons are empty debauchery and drunkenness noticeably diminish the protection of children and the elderly is fully secured by law. Let's send women to the Constituent Assembly too. The old Russia was built only by men and the grief and misfortunes of the motherland were always shared with them by mothers wives and daughters. A new Russia should be built by women and men together! The most important Russian laws will be written in the Constituent Assembly. From the laws that will be created in the Constituent Assembly the fate and life of many generations depends not only on men but also on women and so send women to the Constituent Assembly.''. The campaign for women's political rights in Russia termed the ''women's liberation movement'' became possible only with the beginning of the revolution in 1905 when the question of the democratization of the political system arose. The oldest women's association in Russia the All-Russian Women's Mutual Charity Society established in 1895 was actively involved and new organizations were created: the Union for the Equality of Women 1905 Women's Progressive Party 1905 and the All-Russian League of Equal Rights for Women 1907. The most influential organization was the first the Union which had 48 offices in various cities across Russia and actively conducted agitation among women workers and peasants. After its disintegration the League of Equal Rights for Women became its successor. Members of the League deliberately abandoned the broad political programme and focused their attention only on suffragist demands practising agitation tours through the provinces Orel Saratov Rostov-on-Don Kremenets Tomsk Kiev Simferopol and Narva. As a result branches of the League emerged in many cities including Moscow 1910 Kharkov 1912 Tomsk 1914 and Yekaterinburg 1914. This included the establishment of the following departments: a reading room for street children with a view to preventing child prostitution; a publishing committee that printed cheap pamphlets and books on women's issues; and an editorial commission that published the proceedings of the congress. Every day reports were given on the issues of women's equality in the League's premises. After the February Revolution delegates from the League repeatedly met with the leaders of the Soviet of Workers' and Soldiers' Deputies on the issue of women's suffrage. Despite initial promises of support they refused to immediately act on granting political rights to women. In response the League organized the famous mass march on 20 March 1917 which brought together about 40000 women. To that date it was the most numerous and memorable stand by the Russian women's movement and resulted in the adoption by the Provisional Government of a decree on universal suffrage which was passed on 20 July 1917.

Front free endpaper with thinned area where indication of earlier ownership likely appeared. The boards just very lightly scuffed though probably to provide a feeling of authenticity otherwise only trivial imperfections. Apart from the signs of library ownership a very fine copy the text showing virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a presentation copy of the first library catalogue of Frances Mary Richardson Currer an Englishwoman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library . . . in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall in North Yorkshire was surpassed only by three collections those of Earl Spencer and the dukes of Devonshire and Buckingham. According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." With just 40 copies printed this first printing there was a 1933 second edition is very rarely seen on the market. Robert Triphook unknown

1850ST19683London: Edward Moxon 1850. FIRST EDITION. 222 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". x 374 pp. <br/> HANDSOME DARK BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY THE GUILD OF WOMEN BINDERS see below covers with frame of swirling flowering vines raised bands spine panels with similar floral decoration gilt lettering pastedowns framed by multiple gilt rules intersecting into squares at corners all edges gilt. Front pastedown with pencilled inscription attributing the binding to the Guild of Women Binders in the hand of former owner antiquarian bookseller John P. Love; front free endpaper with pencilled bibliographic information; handwritten card from Love's library catalogue laid in at front. Wise p. 35. Spine gently and evenly sunned one opening with two tiny brown marginal dots but A VERY FINE COPY with few signs of use inside or out.<br/> <br/> This is a lovely copy of one of the great autobiographies in verse offered here in a binding attributed to the Guild of Women Binders by a previous owner with extensive expertise in the field. According to DNB Wordsworth 1770-1850 began his "Prelude" in 1799 while travelling with his sister Dorothy and Samuel Coleridge in Germany using his sister's German exercise notebook to enter poetic accounts of his boyhood. These entries became the first version of his autobiographical testament a work that "is for many his most impressive poem." He completed it in 13 books in 1805 but continued to revise it throughout his lifetime adding a 14th book at the end. It was published poshumously and given its title by his wife. The Guild of Women Binders was established by bookseller Frank Karslake in 1898 to give an organizational identity to a group of women already at work binding books in various parts of Britain often in their own homes. As Tidcombe notes "because the women were generally unaware of the long history of traditional bookbinding design they produced designs that were freer and less stereotyped than those of men in the trade." Our binding is unsigned and is perhaps more conventional that other Guild works but there are elements that would lead an experienced connsoisseur like former owner John P. Love to make a confident attribution. One is the whimsical yet carefully executed spine decoration which carries over the curving floral vines from the covers. Another hint is the very slight variation in the parallel gilt rules indicating a less experienced hand. John Percival Love 1896-1974 joined the staff of the distinguished antiquarian bookseller Francis Edwards founded in 1855. Love served as Chairman of the firm from 1944 until his retirement in 1972. Like many antiquarian booksellers Love was also a collector. He built an impressive collection that was especially rich in incunabula and fine bindings. It is certainly possible that the present volume was once part of the Francis Edwards inventory and was definitively identified at that time as a Guild binding. Edward Moxon unknown
1844ST19249London: Richard Bentley 1844. FIRST EDITION. 220 x 138 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". Four volumes. <br/> HANDSOME BURGUNDY MOROCCO BY BAYNTUN stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-ins covers with triple gilt-ruled frame interlinking with a triple-gilt-ruled diamond raised bands with gilt dots gilt ruled compartments with gilt diamond shapes gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins with a floral tool at each corner all edges gilt. With 18 portraits as called for four of these with hand coloring and EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 60 PLATES. Only the barest hint of wear to extremities spines just a shade darker than covers a handful of portraits a bit foxed but A FINE SET clean and fresh internally the bindings lustrous and the set obviously very little used.<br/> <br/> This is a very attractively bound set containing the biographies of 38 notable Englishwomen extra-illustrated with plates depicting some of the people and places integral to the subjects' lives. Covering the period from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the 18th century these four volumes include many women of noble birth and position such as Arabella Stuart Elizabeth Cromwell and Elizabeth Stuart Queen of Bohemia; poets and artists such as Susanna Centlivre Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Mary Beale; and women famous for their fantastic deeds such as Jane Lane who assisted Charles II during his escape after the Battle of Worcester. Our author Louisa Stuart Costello 1799-1870 was a miniaturist poet and writer of biographies travel stories and fiction. According to DNB "her biographies of royal and noble women--which clearly traded on the popularity of similar works by Lucy Aikin the Strickland sisters and Mary Anne Everett Green--were creditable examples of this literary genre and generally involved some original research." For the present work Costello relied heavily on access to the library and papers of the duke of Devonshire whom she thanks in her introduction. In addition to 18 portraits called for in the contents several of which were drawn by Costello herself this set has been "grangerized" with 60 additional plates that further illustrate the life and times of these illustrious women. The lustrous bindings by an eminent British firm are an additional source of pleasure making a beautiful appearance on the shelf. Richard Bentley unknown

Munster 1924-2016 was one of the thousands of young girls inspired to become professional ice skaters by Sonia Henie’s ice skating movies ice shows glittering costumes and production numbers. By 1941 Munster was appearing in “It Happens on Ice†which ran for 386 performances and included such ice skating performers as Dorothy Allan Jo Ann Dean Paul Castle Edwina Blades and Mary Jane Yeo.

192012840Prairie View TX 1920. 92pp. of ink manuscript plus eighteen photographs and seven ephemeral items on an additional 11pp. Original scrapbook 12.25 x 8.5 inches. Ownership inscription on front pastedown reading "Estella V. Sells Prairie View College May 17 1920." A well-used personal scrapbook with binding loose with cover nearly detached covers worn with mild staining pages toned and occasionally chipped along margins fading to ink entries along edges of pages though nearly all content legible with care. Good condition. A wonderful scrapbook compiled by Estella Sells Johnson 1897-1900 a young African American woman studying at Prairie View State Normal & Industrial College now Prairie View A & M University documenting her time there in 1919 and 1920. Johnson was born in Jasper County Texas to Watkin and Matilda Sells. She was the 1918 valedictorian of her class at the segregated Jasper High School and enrolled at Prairie View that same year through the summer of 1920. In 1920 she married Reverend Napoleon Johnson shortly thereafter giving birth to her two children. She was finally able to complete her undergraduate degree in 1936 and earned a master's degree in education in 1950. Throughout all this she continued to work in the Jasper school system in a career that lasted forty-six years until retiring in 1966. The scrapbook is accompanied by a copy of her institutionally unrecorded family-published autobiography The Responsibilities of a Christian Life published 1990 as well as a photograph of her from later in life.<br /> <br /> The eighteen photographs in the scrapbook consist of portraits of peers around campus some captioned as well as a photograph of the Prairie View band and a candid photo of the Samuel Huston College HBCU football team. Ephemera includes an alumni banquet invitation a musical program for chapel services a program for a senior class pageant a commencement day program with laid-in college song lyrics an orchestra program a commencement sermon program and a calling card. Several of the programs appear to have been trimmed possibly from larger leaflets.<br /> <br /> The scrapbook also contains forty pages of inscriptions and autographs from classmates and faculty at the school some quite detailed and heartfelt. An additional fifty-two handwritten pages meanwhile provide densely written detailed descriptions of events at the school plus personal anecdotes inside jokes poems class songs and slogans quotations by classmates and faculty as well as entries describing Estella's own feelings regarding life at school. Many of the pages contain diary-style descriptions of events at the school including banquets dances recitals and a sports meet with Bishop College. One five-page entry narrates a visit by famed African American missionary Max Yergan to the campus under the auspices of the YMCA as well as lectures and a sermon given at the same conference by Channing Heggie Tobias. Her description reads in part: "Friday night Mr. Max Yeargan Missionary to India and Africa gave a series of stereopticon Views with lectures. These views treated of the conditions existing in those countries modes of living customs and great preponderance of illiteracy. Especially interesting was his account of of his experiences and adventures in traveling. Doctors and nurses are few for the large population and consequently a large number of inhabitants die for the want of medical attention. He expressed his hope that in response to the call of a needy people there would be those in America Texas and even Prairie View who would answer willing. Mr. Yeargan is planning to return to Africa in the early fall and solicits the support of all well-wishers. Over $300 was subscribed by friends to aid him in this work."<br /> <br /> Mr. Yeargan is a wide awake young Christian worker and is giving his life to this service for the betterment of humanity. His life is in truth worthy of emulation. At the platform meeting on Saturday Mr. Channing H. Tobias International Secretary New York was presented and gave a very masterly discussion on "The Church" telling of the purpose of the Church from its early establishment and its rightful place in the World's program. He emphasized the fact that the Church was the nucleus around which all life was centered and when men would come to a realization of this then it would be that conditions would assume a normal state and mean for the reestablishment of a Christian era.<br /> <br /> Another two page entry meanwhile gives an account of the 1919 observance of National Negro Health Week held at the college: "Dr. Osborn next introduced Dr. J.M. Franklin resident physician who discussed the knowledge of medicine among Negroes and what is being done to improve the faculties for handling disease among colored people as well as increasing advantage for Negroes to acquire training in the medical profession…and laid a deal of emphasis on the fact that the time is here when people will not even patronize a doctor because he happens to be black unless he can deliver the goods."<br /> <br /> A third entry covering two pages describes a visit to campus by sociologist Franklin H. Giddings. Other pages contain an essay titled "Ideals for Girls" inspirational poetry titled "Life" and "It Can Be Done" a lost and found "Advertisement" "lost a precious lad about 4 1/2 feet tall" a heartfelt entry on receiving a gift from a "home girl" quotations from faculty "Miss Bass 'This is the biggest mess I even seen its so bad'" and more. Other humorous entries include an anecdote about accidentally locking "Miss Williams" in a room a sketch titled "this scene open with a Negro in a court room who had filed complaint against his wife for rocking him to sleep" a dialogue between "Prof Butler" and "Dean Griggs" and a humorous anecdote by "Dean Reynolds" about seeing "one of my white friends coming down the same street in a big Nash Six sitting like he had conquered the whole world" and being told "Uncle aren’t you tired of walking.why don't you run for a while." Finally a comic song titled "The Twenty-Third Psalm of the Flunkers" reflects the anxieties of college life: "The twenty-third psalm of the flunkers. The teachers are my shepherds I shall not want. The leaders me resides the classics. I fear my studies far zeroes demerits and even a ticker for home may not comfort me."<br /> <br /> OCLC locates a single printed yearbook from Prairie View that was published in 1917 with 1926 as the next recorded year. The present volume combining elements of a diary scrapbook and yearbook thus fills a gap in the history of the institution while also providing detailed personal insights of a young African woman attending college in Texas during a period of intense Jim Crow segregation. unknown
15259Women at Oxford. Archive of papers recording the great debate between the Association for promoting the Education of Women AEW at Oxford and the faculty and students who opposed their entrance. 1895-1896. Total of 50 separate documents ranging from printed single page letters through bound booklets. The majority of these documents are known to exist only in one single additional copy held by the University of Oxford; and several of the papers are not noted to be included even within Oxford's collection as per OCLC worldcat. <br/><br/> This collection of papers is ripe for scholarly research. Forming a cohesive archive of 50 documents it includes synopses of the contents and resolution of meetings of the AEW arguments concerning various aspects of the question of inclusion of women at Oxford and advice for members concerning upcoming resolutions put to vote. The AEW was founded in 1873 to gain the full educational enfranchisement of women at Oxford who had actually been attending classes in small numbers by special permission since 1866. Despite vigorous support for the cause Oxford maintained as nearly the last hold-out against coeducation among British Universities not allowing women to gain the full B.A. degree until 1920. Some documents of the archive include "The Due Recognition of Women by the University of Oxford" 1896; "A Brief History of the Proposal to Admit Women to Degrees at Cambridge in 1887-8" by Thomas Case 1896; "The Value of a Genuine Diploma"; and "The B.A. Degree for Women." Full list available upon request. Individual pages or booklets sizes vary. Some hole-punched a few corner tears light edge soiling and toning. Some stamped with circular stamp "Board of Education Library"; most with numerical markers in red to upper right corner of documents. All in good condition and clearly legible. Full of sagacity and wit this archive evidences the reasoned support of women's right to the diploma over twenty years before it was finally granted.<br/> <br/>A partial List of Publications and some OCLC Worldcat search results: "most" are held only at Oxford University and no other copies at any institutions or library worldwide. 4 items had no copies at any Liabraries as per OCLC not even Oxford.

1894124133Oxford: printed for the Association by the Printers to the University 6 issues with the imprint of Horace Hart; the last 5 with that of Frederick Hall 1894-1919. The state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation An important set of reports published by the pioneering Association for Promoting the Higher Education of Women AEW containing a mass of information relating to the state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation. The earliest report dates from 1894-95 and the latest from 1918-19 each running from October of one year to the same month of the next. The sequence is incomplete with two issues missing 1900-01 and 1910-11. The reports are scarce in any sequence. WorldCat and Library Hub record runs at the London School of Economics and the British Library. The society's papers and publications are held in the Bodleian deposited there in 1975. The question of women's suffrage and its relevance within the structures of the University of Oxford had been a topic of frequent discussion prior to the formal debate on the subject at the Oxford Union on 19 February 1880. Societies like the Oxford Women's Liberal Association OWLA and the Women's Emancipation Union plus the activism of Florence Davenport Hill who had been a founder member of the Bristol Women's Suffrage society in 1868 and had since moved to Headington paved the way for groups like the AEW and later the Oxford Women's Suffrage Society. The organization's work led to the founding of four women's colleges: Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville opened in 1879 followed by St Hugh's in 1886 and St Hilda's in 1893. St Anne's also originated as part of the AEW catering for female students who lived with private families in Oxford while attending courses run by the society. The AEW counted the activist Eleanor Smith 1823-1896 among its founding members and Annie Rogers 1856-1937 Oxford's first woman don as a secretary. Perhaps the most significant sections in these reports are those titled "General Statistics" which provide accounts of lectures attended by students tutorial arrangements results of examinations donations and subscriptions. The report of 1917-18 also provides a commentary on the "extension of the University Parliamentary Franchise to women who being British subjects and not subject to any legal incapacity have attained the age of thirty and have been admitted to and passed the final examination and kept under the conditions required of women by the University the period of residence necessary for a man to obtain a degree at Oxford. They are registered on specially favourable terms as the Act admitting them is so drafted that the fee of £1 for registration cannot be required of persons who are not graduates. The Register contains at present the names of 409 women." The AEW continued its activities until November 1920 when it dissolved itself as the university by admitting women to membership had taken responsibility for them. 23 issues octavo; comprising a total of 616 pages the issues c.20-30 pp. in length. Original printed paper wrappers sewn and wire-stitched as issued. Housed in a former library's dark purple cloth flat-back box with metal latch closure paper label to spine reading "Australian Council for Educational Research".

Occasional trivial offsetting from inserted plates but A VERY FINE COPY clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings.<br/> <br/> Richly extra-illustrated with depictions of the people places and events discussed in the text this joint biography of brothers James and Horace Smith was simply and tastefully bound by members of the Guild of Women Binders. Although James 1775-1839 was a lawyer and Horace 1779-1849 a successful stockbroker both had literary aspirations and enjoyed being part of theatrical and artistic circles. Their dreams were realized when in 1812 the Drury Lane Theatre offered a £50 prize for an address to be recited on the theater's reopening following repair of fire damage. The Smiths hit on the idea of producing parodies of popular poets with James imitating Wordsworth Southey and Coleridge while Horace took on Byron Moore and Scott. Their humorous publication was an unexpected runaway hit going to seven editions in three months. According to Britannica "'Rejected Addresses' are the most widely popular parodies ever published in England and take classical rank in literature. . . . A striking feature is the absence of malice; none of the poets caricatured took offence while the imitation is so clever that both Byron and Scott are recorded to have said that they could hardly believe they had not written the addresses ascribed to them." In addition to being witty both men were kind and generous friends often helping impecunious artists. Percy Shelley and Horace became friends after competing in a sonnet-writing contest which Shelley won by producing "Ozymandias". Before leaving for Italy the poet entrusted his financial affairs to Horace of whom he said "Is it not odd that the only truly generous person I ever knew who had money enough to be generous with should be a stock-broker He writes poetry and pastoral dramas and yet knows how to make money and does make it and is still generous." The binding here was produced by the Guild of Women Binders established by bookseller Frank Karslake in 1898 to give an organizational identity to a group of women already at work binding books in various parts of Britain often in their own homes. Karslake first became interested in women binders when he visited the Victorian Era Exhibition at Earl's Court in 1897 held to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. He was impressed with a number of bookbindings at the Jubilee exhibit prominent among them being those of Mrs. Annie MacDonald of Edinburgh and he invited the women to exhibit their work in his shop at 61 Charing Cross Road. The Guild was formed soon thereafter and operated until 1904. As Tidcombe notes "because the women were generally unaware of the long history of traditional bookbinding design they produced designs that were freer and less stereotyped than those of men in the trade." Our binding is more restrained that other Guild works but the spine lettering which juxtaposes curves and sharp angles stands out as a distinctive feature. Hurst and Blackett, Limited unknown
In 8°; cc. 39, (1). Bella bordura al frontespizio, con putti, maschere, uccelli; un capolettera inciso su legno e all’ultima pagina la bella marca tipografica incisa su legno, di Niccolò Garanta, con un delfino nel mare sotto il cielo stellato. Eleganta stampa in corsivo. Legatura ottocentesca in mezza pelle con titolo in oro al dorso. Bell’esemplare marginoso; qualche traccia d’umido che nulla toglie alla sua estetica. Il nome dell’autore è al principiio della lettera di dedica alla “sua signora”. Il traduttore dal castigliano al volgare italiano è come appare Lelio Aletiphilo che dedica l’opera a Scipione Atellano. Prima edizione italiana. La materia della novella di Juan de Flores, che nella versione originale spagnola aveva titolo La historia de Grisel y Mirabella, è una fortunata prosecuzione della Fiammetta di Boccaccio e più volte sarà ripresa nella novellistica amorosa del Rinascimento. Si tratta apparentemente dell’amore, in realtà si disquisisce sulla condizione femminile, e la trama si chiude con vendetta delle donne verso colui che le le calunniava. La traduzione dal castigliano è presumibilmente opera di Lelio Manfredi, se in lui si riconosce Lelio Aletiphilo, giurista e valente letterato ferrarese della prima metà del XVI secolo, traduttore per Isabella d’Este. “Secondo Libanori (p. 187), il M. fu dottore in legge; trascorse gran parte della sua vita a viaggiare per l'Europa, apprendendo molte lingue straniere, in particolare lo spagnolo. Mise a profitto le sue conoscenze per la corte di Mantova, traducendo dallo spagnolo romanzi cavallereschi, che destavano viva curiosità in Isabella d'Este. È probabile che al M. debba essere assegnata anche la traduzione di un altro romanzo spagnolo La historia de Grisel y Mirabella di Juan de Flores, un romanzetto in cui sono narrati i casi di due infelicissimi amanti, che fu tradotto in italiano come l'Historia di Aurelio et Isabella. Il nome del traduttore - d'invenzione o accademico - sotto cui andava l'opera era Lelio Aletiphilo, il quale celerebbe il M. secondo gli studiosi più antichi (primo fra tutti Rajna, p. 156 e nn.), mentre gli editori più recenti tendono a escluderlo” (DBI, ad vocem Manfredi).

In-8°, (6), 350, (26), ill., legatura in pelle, con tasselli e titolo al dorso. Nacque a Roma da Lazzaro e da Diana Costa nel 1556. Di lui non possediamo notizie precise prima della sua frequentazione con Filippo Neri, iniziata, come egli stesso afferma, nel 1576; si unì poi agli oratoriani il 1° luglio 1577. A proposito della contiguità con Filippo Neri, nella Vita b. Philippi Neri (Romae 1600) il G. stesso si autodefinisce "Beati Patris nostri administer, assiduusque comes" (p. 145), e la descrizione del loro rapporto sembra abbastanza attendibile; è però soltanto negli ultimi anni di vita del santo che si può veramente parlare di un ruolo di assistenza e collaborazione quotidiana da parte del Gallonio. Precedentemente egli aveva avuto da Filippo il trattamento che questi riservava ai suoi discepoli di maggior talento. Il santo era infatti cosciente della vanità derivante dalla precocità intellettuale e cercava pertanto di procurare la mortificazione dello spirito assegnando umili incarichi a quel tipo di seguaci. Ordinava quindi al G. di chiedere l'elemosina vestito di stracci, di togliersi la tonaca per mettere in evidenza i buchi sulle maniche della tonacella davanti alle monache di Tor de' Specchi e - sono i casi più noti - gli chiedeva di cantare in piedi i versi di motivi popolari di Norcia al cospetto di visitatori illustri e alquanto divertiti. La mortificazione del G. mise davvero alla prova la sua obbedienza e la sua umiltà fino all'estremo, portandolo quasi ad abbandonare del tutto gli oratoriani. Significativamente, Filippo frenava l'inclinazione del Gallonio per la filosofia in favore dell'agiografia e della storia della Chiesa delle origini. Sebbene sia noto per la sua Vita b. Philippi Neri Florentini Congregationis oratorii fundatoris in annos digesta (Roma 1600; trad. italiana dello stesso G., ibid. 1601), quest'opera è per molti aspetti non rappresentativa del complesso della produzione del Gallonio. Peculiare dell'opera del G. era la ricerca sulla vita e le sofferenze dei protomartiri cristiani, in particolare delle sante vergini. Il suo primo libro fu l'Historia delle sante vergini romane con varie annotationi e con alcune vite brevi de' santi parenti loro e de' gloriosi martiri Papia e Mauro soldati romani. Motivata dalla traslazione delle reliquie di Papia e Mauro dalla chiesa di S. Adriano a S. Maria della Vallicella l'11 febbraio 1590 e scritta su espresso ordine di Filippo, l'opera forniva una serie di brevi vitae accompagnate da note storiche disposte secondo il giorno dell'anniversario a partire dal primo gennaio; pensato come supplemento al Martirologium di C. Baronio del 1583, il testo consentiva un ampio sguardo sui santi martiri. L'opera del Gallonio può essere vista come exemplum virtutis da fornire alle donne sia laiche che religiose. He was born in Rome to Lazarus and Diana Costa in 1556. We have no precise information about him before his acquaintance with Filippo Neri, which he began, as he himself claims, in 1576; he then joined the oratorians on 1 July 1577. Regarding the contiguity with Filippo Neri, in Vita b. Philippi Neri (Romae 1600) G. himself calls himself "Beati Patris nostra administer, assiduusque comes" (p. 145), and the description of their relationship seems quite reliable; however, it is only in the last years of the saint's life that one can truly speak of a role of daily assistance and collaboration by Gallonius. Previously he had had from Philip the treatment that he reserved for his most talented disciples. The saint was in fact aware of the vanity deriving from intellectual precocity and therefore sought to procure the mortification of the spirit by assigning humble assignments to that type of followers. He then ordered the G. to ask for alms dressed in rags, to remove his cassock to highlight the holes on the sleeves of the cassock in front of the nuns of Tor de 'Specchi and - they are the best known cases - asked him to sing on his feet the verses of popular motifs of Norcia in the presence of illustrious and somewhat amused visitors. The mortification of Gallonius really tested his obedience and his humility to the extreme, almost leading him to completely abandon the oratorians. Significantly, Filippo curbed Gallonius' inclination for philosophy in favor of hagiography and the history of the early Church. Although he is known for his Vita beati Philippi Neri Florentini Congregationis oratorii fundatoris in annos digesta (Rome 1600; Italian translation of the same G., ibid. 1601), this work is in many respects not representative of the whole Gallonius production. Peculiar to the work of Gallonius was the research on the life and sufferings of the Christian proto-martyrs, in particular of the virgins. His first book was the History of the Holy Roman Virgins with various annotations and with some short lives of their holy relatives and of the glorious martyrs Papia and Mauro Roman soldiers. Motivated by the translation of the relics of Papia and Mauro from the church of S. Adriano to S. Maria della Vallicella on 11 February 1590 and written on the express order of Filippo, the work provided a series of short vitae accompanied by historical notes arranged according to the anniversary day from 1st January; thought as a supplement to the Martirologium of C. Baronio of 1583, the text allowed a broad look at the holy martyrs. This book was intented as exemplum virtutis for nuns and for secular women.
